Kirra Surfriders Club was first formed in 1962 by a group of local surfers in the Kirra – Coolangatta area. Local John Charlton had a business hiring surfboards and surf mats on the beach at Kirra. He generously gave the new club access to the dressing sheds in the pavilion so they would have somewhere to hold meetings. These meetings were held in the ladies dressing sheds because they were much cleaner than the men’s..!
From our flagship event, the Kirra Teams Challenge, showcasing top talent and fierce competition to nurturing the next generation of surfers through our Junior and Womens Teams Challenges. For our current club members, Monthly Club Rounds give us opportunity to test skills, connect with fellow surfers, and enjoy the camaraderie of our the club.
